Tim was a great defender early. Now its about positioning anticipation and contesting without fouling. Duncan doesn't jump. JV is learning to play defense vs Drummond who gets blocks
I think you might be underrating TD.. he is neck and neck with Hakeem in terms of best low post players of all time. If JV ever does what Tim does than that will be a huge accomplishment. JV is killing it because he's playing a small ball line up. If they played the Wizards in the first round it would be a different story.
Love JV.. just don't think he comes close to what TD did offensively in his prime.
Tim Duncan is a great post defender but he played 4 years in college and then next to David Robinson.Jonas is really young but he plays a mature game already. Basrring injury he could be elite an 2-way player.
I rather have Jonas than Drummond, I don't know why people think he's so good, yes he's really great in fast paced games but when it slows down, especially in the playoffs he won't be effective because he has no post moves, and he cannot shoot each other, JV is way more suited for the playoffs.

Yup, think about it in the half court. Drummond can't create his own shots, because he has no post moves and even if he did get fouled during a move he can't hit free throws. He can't step out and hit a jumper.
He's best when there are a LOT of shots (rebounding edge) and lots of fastbreaks.

What? Even last year Duncan was 2nd team all defense as an old fossil, doesn't matter if he doesn't jump. in his prime he was amazing defensively. And I don't get the point about Drummond? Drummond isn't even that great a shotblocker, let alone a defender, he is very mediocre defensively, don't let a few highlights fool you.
